Morning everyone, well here we are another week gone and a new one here and this week its half term for our schools, oh the joys of having both the children here for the week. I have so many of Amelia's friends coming over this week i'm wondering if I should start a crèche!! On a count down for our family holiday now! cant wait to get away and be with the family! Having a get together next week to arrange what were all doing!
Well onto the challenge! Over at Theres Magic in the Air this week we would like to see
Children's Birthday Cards
Sometimes children can be hard work to make cards for, I find that I always want to create them something that I know a certain child is into, I sometimes make a card for a child and think, that is not very child like, or they wont like that, but this week I had no problems, I used a lovely image from Paper Cupcakes Store called 'Friends in all Sizes', I just felt the image was so adorable!

This is the 1st 'Twisted Easel' card I have made, its thanks to Cheryl, you can see a link to her page on my tutorial page! I cant wait to make more like this, its so much fun!
I coloured the image using my pro-markers, I used Moss for the Grass, The Ladybird was coloured with poppy and the giraffe was coloured using shale and tan, the maine was coloured using caramel.
The above photo is of the card when its closed, I scored the central line a bit off, but it turned out OK!!! It worked out nicely as where I have put '4 Today' it shows when the card is closed!
The stamp I used for the greeting is one I have had since I started stamping I stamped in Silver. I layered this onto centura pearly card in pale pink and lilac. The pearls are ones from my stash and so is the ribbon.
I would like to enter this card to the following challenges;
Simply Create - Bold and Bright
If the Shoe Fits - Birthday
Guylous Inimitability - Anything goes
